However, mind-altering substances do just that, alter the mind.
It doesn't mean the mind is altered to experience something beyond reality. It just means people are gullible.
How do you think we figured that out? We got high, and got people high...alot. We understood what a drug was and what effects it could have long before we came up with science or could explain how it had those effects.
Insomuch as people can be said to get getting high wrong (?) they didn't do so because they failed to make accurate observations, record those observations, or experiment. They said they saw a dragon? - I bet they did.
Dial that all the way up to religion. They say there's a dragon? Who cares, the secularism humanism present in our justification does not depend on whether they really saw a dragon, or whether dragons are real. So what if they get it wrong because they're bad at experimenting. Being good at it, getting it right, and actually proving their religious beliefs to be true would not in any way shape or form exempt them from separation.
